The Stationers’ Company has confirmed that it has extended the deadline for companies to apply to it Warrant Programme, announced last month. Companies now have until 30 November 2021 to apply.

The scheme, developed to recognise excellence within the communication and content industries, will be open to any company operating in a sector represented by the Stationers’ Company.

The Warrants will be awarded based on a set of criteria including original design and high-quality manufacturing/production techniques as well as things like appropriate and sustainable packaging and relevance to its industry or market sector.

Chris Geer, chair of the Warrants Committee stated, ‘We are excited to be launching the 2022 Warrants. As businesses are adapting to the ‘new normal’ following the challenging times of the last 18 months, we continue to see many companies providing products and services beyond their usual remit.

‘As in 2021, we believe that this year again, more than ever before, those businesses should be recognised for the quality products and services they offer. Warrants are important in highly-competitive markets, as they offer the holder a valuable USP and something to differentiate them from the rest of the crowd. We want businesses to come forward and shout about the great things they are doing.’
